My New Nemesis

As you may recall, my human had a birthday last Saturday. She told her boyfriend not to get her anything, but he did not listen to her. His gift was late, however — it did not get delivered until Monday. Frankly I wish it had gotten lost in the mail. Look at what it is — a new camera!

It is a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V, which is basically the latest version of the camera she has been using the most for the past couple of years. It has a bunch of new, fancy things on it, like GPS and effects that she probably won’t use much since she basically sticks to the manual function. Although there is a lot of new added stuff to the manual function too.

Yikes, we feel for you, Sparkle! The mom’s thinking of yet another camera, should her dad feel like splurging when he visits in September. LOL. We hope not, because a new flashy box sure wouldn’t bode well for us.

Oh dear Sparkle that’s a bit of a bad choice of gift from him for your Mom’s birthday. Is there any chance it could get dropped in with the trash? Of course that would have to be done by the famous Mr. Not Me.

I’ve been window shopping for a “real” camera for about 6 months now. My old Minolta (film) just won’t cut it anymore, and my camera phone (Nexus S) takes awesome shots, but is limited to daytime, and still subjects. I sort of have my eye on a Canon Rebel series, but this Sony looks interesting too.

I know, I know, you don’t like cameras. But one day Sparkle, you’ll look back and appreciate the document!

At least you don’t have one of those macro lenses that they stick right up close to your face and practically touch your nose (and then use the flash). I have often wondered what would happen if I grabbed the string that holds it to her and dragged it off to the litter box…

Now Sparkle
That’s the kinda purrday present my Mom likes too.
In fact she has a birthday coming up soon and all she can think about is a wide angle len.

Oh just wanted to mention to you that our local tv station (NEWS4JAX) did a segment on the CR kitties. I bet it is online. Just google news4jax and the station will come up. Just in case you might be interested.

better you than us, Sparkle 😉 your confession is true! tho yes, salmon trumps flashy boxes any day! it’s times like this that we’re thankful just a point and shoot is our mom’s speed when it comes to flashy boxes.

Happy Belated Birthday to your human!! And the camera–well, Ms. Sparkle, we’ll seen even more beautifully photos of you. I know…I know… the salmon woulda have been better–but…humans–we do have to forgive them….at times. Hope the boyfriend brought YOU something anyway!!
